Will there be a Families Belong Together march in Sebastopol Sat. June 30??
Dear folks,
Often when there is a big Santa Rosa march, we have one of our own here in Sebastopol. And sometimes, it comes together quickly and spontaneously, and folks don't know about it until it's too late.
That's OK, but I am just wondering if one is planned here in town. In my opinion, our Sebastopol marches get seen by a lot more outside people and are more effective, because they are driving by on two highways, whereas the Santa Rosa ones are mainly "preaching to the choir."
Another idea would be to have a Sebastopol one at a slightly different time so folks could go to both, especially if they are already committed to the Santa Rosa one.

OK, I see that there will indeed be a Sebastopol march, 10 a.m. just like the Santa Rosa time. So make a sign and come on down if you are in this area--

Pity The Nation
(After Khalil Gibran)
Pity the nation whose people are sheep,
and whose shepherds mislead them.
Pity the nation whose leaders are liars, whose
sages are silenced,
and whose bigots haunt the airwaves.
Pity the nation that raises not its voice,
except to praise conquerors and acclaim the bully
as hero
and aims to rule the world with force and by
torture.
Pity the nation that knows no other language but
its own
and no other culture but its own.
Pity the nation whose breath is money
and sleeps the sleep of the too well fed.
Pity the nation--oh, pity the people who allow
their rights to erode
and their freedoms to be washed away.
My country, tears of thee, sweet land of liberty.
- Lawrence Ferlinghetti
